meaning of: get out a great deal of the time #1 (permalink) Thu Aug 23, 2007 6:37 am   meaning of: get out a great deal of the time
 

We don't get out a great deal of the time.

Could anyone rephrase or explain this simple sentence? [Particularly - get out a great deal of the time]

I know, great deal of time = a lot of time. So, if I write, "We don't get out a lot of time", Will the meaning remain same?
